I probably shouldn't post this, as it is pretty silly and probably only of interest to me, but why not. More appropriate to my blog for sure, but it is comic related, and the first time that I dreamed an entire comic book basically.
I rarely remember my dreams, but last night had a really vivid one. I've been reading a neat little coffee table type book this year.

I checked the last few "weeks" that I read, and my dream was not directly related to anything in the book, but the style of the dream was completely golden age. Cheesy dialogue, 50's art style, etc.
Unlike many of my dreams, which shift in perspective from me being in the story or just observing it, this dream was entirely of me reading a comic book. I only remember some parts of it, but I do remember the last few panels vividly.
The basics of the story was that of a hard nosed cop / secret agent. His mission was to put away some bad guy, he had to travel around getting the witnesses safely to the courtroom. This super cop was traveling with his boss, a "suit". The first couple witnesses they had to pick up were cops who had been injured (by the bad guy? who is never seen in the comic btw) and were in the hospital.
Near the end of the story, the partners had traveled to South America or something, and crashed their plane near a river. The had taken a rookie cop with them, but he turned out to be a double agent, and was standing guard near the burning plane.
Here are the panels that I remember vividly. Our hero team is swimming back towards their plane's wreckage, without a weapon, seeing the turncoat with a pistol. The hero says "that's why I stashed a stowaway weapon", as they swim towards a tree with a tommy gun hidden in it's branches, just north of their enemy. The hero gets the gun, and sneaks up on the rookie, shooting him in the back. (Remember, this is a golden age comic, so behavior like that was ok for a hero.) He walks up to the body, holding the gun like a briefcase, and the rookie turns out not to be dead, and leaps up to struggle with the hero. The gun goes off, hitting the "suit". Our hero finishes off the turncoat, and then picks up his boss, saying, "I'll have to get you to a hospital". The boss replies, "that will get me to a hospital?", pointing to the burning plane.
Our hero replies, as he carries them into the burning half-wreckage of a plane, "sure, this isn't just a plane, but also a helicopter. An Apache helicopter!" He presses a button and a helicopter morphs out of the half of the plane not in shambles, and they fly off into the sunset towards the states.
